"The good wind, the misty waves, the vast clouds, the great scenery of Yunmeng is indeed extraordinary. Unfortunately, when Sun Envoy was the prefect of Changsha, I had never served in office. I was given to others in Changsha County today, and I saw this scene."

After being summoned by Li Su, Zhou Yu led a group of colleagues and followers to climb the mountain Baqiu, and couldn't help but look at the scenery along the way. Zhou Yu felt so moved.

After all, he was young, nineteen years old, and had not traveled many places. As a Huainan person, he had never seen the sea before. The most smoky scenery he had ever seen was on the edge of the Yangtze River or Chaohu Lake beside Hefei.

Dongting Lake in the late Han Dynasty was still Yunmengze, which was many times larger than Chaohu Lake. The view was really shocking when you climb high and look into the distance.

A military officer in his thirties was on the side, and his title was as high as Zhou Yu. He snorted coldly and dissatisfied: "I said at the beginning that the messenger would just grab the food shortage. How could he give up the land of Changsha to others for money and grain?

What are you worried about in the enclave? At worst, even Jiangxia County, Yuzhang County and opened up a piece of it. Isn’t it an enclave? Even my hometown Lingling County can be called back!"

This commander was Huang Gai, and he was the only general under Sun Jian who recruited when he was the prefect of Changsha. Huang Gai was from Lingling. During the Xing Rebellion in Sun Jian, he also fought to Lingling. Guiyang pursued the Xingren of the District in Guizhou. Huang Gai joined the army at that time.

Compared with Cheng Pu, when Han was the Youzhou generals who followed Sun Jian when he fought against the Yellow Turban, Huang Gai was the one who was the most familiar with the water war in Sun Jian's army before Zhou Yu came. This time, Sun Jian sent Zhou Yu to Changsha for diplomatic negotiations. Considering that Huang Gai was most familiar with the local situation, he sent him to escort and partnered with Zhou Yu, one literary and one military.

In the past six months of war, especially crossing the river to attack Zhou Xin, Huang Gai has made some achievements and promoted to the commander. However, he was a martial artist and had no foundation in his career, so he had to fight with one sword and one shot.

Zhou Yu was born in a family and started out as the 18-year-old county magistrate of Juchao. He went from county magistrate to commander of the capital within a year, so the two were already at the same level as the official position.

In a few years, Zhou Yu will only rise higher and leave Huang Gai far behind. This is the benefit of being a professional.

Huang Gai stands in his own position, of course he is quite resentful about Sun Jian's behavior of betraying Changsha. Who doesn't want to return home in glory? If he sells Changsha, Huang Gai will never be able to fight back to his hometown. He can only help Sun Jian, who was born in Wujun, to fight back to Sun Jian's hometown.

Zhou Yu was clear about this in his heart and dissuaded himself in a calm tone: "Don't complain about the refusal. The matter in Changsha was decided by the envoy himself, not by me. Moreover, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao were not easy. The envoy had just risen, so how could he have too many enemies because of a small loss of big trees?"

Seeing Zhou Yu pressing Sun Jian again, Huang Gai sneered: "I'm afraid that some people instigate the lord to sell Changsha, saying that he could make strong help from outside, but in the end he was fooled - they just traded with you, and now they come to buy goods with real money and silver again, and they refuse to sell them to our army. Instead, they only do business with other princes.

Liu Bei and Li Su have always been cunning. They have only sold us thousands of pieces of brocade in the past six months. They can only produce so much? The rest is not sold to Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, so that they can resell and earn the difference, and get money and grain to enrich their military strength!"

It turned out that the reason why Sun Jian sent a group of naval troops to escort the merchant fleet this time was because Sun Jian's camp knew Li Su's output of Shujin, and also knew that Li Su had many other good things.

At the end of April, the fleet where Sun Jian came to buy goods was blocked. Sun Jian began to suspect that Li Su was playing the "balance policy" and did not want a single person in Jing and Wu to dominate the land, so he checked and balanced the money and grain. This time he came again, let Zhou Yu find out the details.

Zhou Yu's face turned dark, and Huang Gai accused him of doing a bad diplomatic work in Couplet Liu and not being able to exchange Sun Jian for long-term profits of money and grain trade. If he could not give an explanation, Zhou Yu's voice in Sun Jian's camp will greatly reduce his voice in the future.

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, we are here to do this. Today we must ask Li Su to explain it!"

During the quarrel between Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, the Baqiu Mountain had been climbed and the lake view had been seen. Zhou Yu climbed to the roof of Baqiu Tower, and Li Su had already waved his fan and served tea and wine to entertain him.

...

Zhou Yu was holding a breath of suspicion by Huang Gai in his stomach, so when he saw Li Su, his attitude was also relatively stiff.

"Right General! Don't be fine! Yu asked himself that he is still friends with you. He used the reputation of our Zhou family to guarantee the title of Envoy Sun, saying that the King of Hanzhong, the Right General and our envoy were the most loyal and loyal ally among the princes of Dong.

Since Changsha County cannot be defended, it will be given to the rule of the Hanzhong King, and there will be long-term benefits to repay me. Is this how you treat your allies? We use money to buy brocade, and you also block the trade route and block the Yangtze River.

Today, we will be polite first and then soldiers. If your army limits the shipment quantity and speed, we will only use the navy as generals and thieves to intercept and kill the army and sell it to Liu Biao and Yuan Shu’s merchant fleet! I will be blunt when I treat the Right General as my friend!"

Because Zhou Yu's attitude was not very good, Huang Gai, behind him, also stood up with a angrily eyes and pressed the knife. Unfortunately, Huang Gai's deterrence was obviously insufficient, because behind Li Su, Dian Wei and Gan Ning also glared back when they saw Huang Gai's glaring, and both pressed the iron halberd.

To be honest, although Li Su has a high IQ, he really didn't expect that Zhou Yu, an uninvited guest, came for this purpose.

What? Just because I don’t ship the goods, do you want to start a war?

Well, strictly speaking, it is not considered a war, but "If you don't ship the goods, I will issue a privateer license."

Before Li Su laughed, Gan Ning couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, Zhou Duwei is so elegant. Since Gan took charge of the defense of Baqiu River, he has never heard of any ** on the Yangtze River. If you are willing, just try it. Gan really wants to know if there is a ** in this world that can escape from someone's palm."

"Xingba, there is no need to be rude." Li Su stopped him with a smile, but he would not blame him. He knew that Gan Ning was the "Jinfan Thief"'s beast blood began to boil again.

Zhou Yu threatened to use the water thief in front of the ancestors of the water thief. No wonder Gan Ning couldn't help it.

After hearing Gan Ning's words, Zhou Yu also praised sarcastically: "Originally, there was a rumor in the world that the name of Gan Zhengxian Thief was so powerful that Yu could not believe it. Now it seems that the rumors are true, and they are indifferent to respect!"

Gan Ning smiled proudly: "So the name of a Jinfan thief has spread all over the Wuhui land? That is really awesome to the Yangtze River. Thank you for your advice."

Zhou Yu's face turned dark: Is this man not ashamed? He exposed his experience as a thief in public, but he was not ashamed at all, but rather proud... It turns out that he is not a clan of a family who has been in his lifetime, and he is not distinguished from honor and disgrace!

Zhou Yu was too lazy to get involved with people with a sense of honor and turned to Li Su. He was too tough to be soft and had a good conversation and cooperated with him. He hoped that Li Su would give him a correct letter and promised to give priority to Sun Jian.

Li Su had never cooperated with Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, and it was all made up by Sun Jian and Zhou Yu himself.

Although the Sun family was not a big deal when they arrived at Sun Quan, there was a saying that Sun Jian and Sun Ce were not good at character, and there was no problem with the brothers who were far away and nearby. The father and son were a little violent, but they were easily exploited by allies in their scheming.

Therefore, Li Su is also willing to stay friendly with Zhou Yu.

Li Su: "Gongjin doesn't know that our friendly cooperation with Sun Envoy is very sincere. At present, we cannot supply you more Shu brocade, which is also a reason. I am willing to make no priority for supplying Liu Biao and Yuan Shu for your sake.

However, after you said just now, the profit of this wide Shu brocade is probably more than 350 million yuan. Did you actually sell it much more than we had when you shipped it, so you still want to pay for it? Also, the autumn harvest is about to be around, and the previous money and grain should be able to survive the autumn grain.

Your army is eager to raise money, is it because the war is not going well? What is the situation in Jiangdong now? Don’t hide it. I have always been aware of all my friends. If you have sincerity, you should tell me honestly, and everything will be discussed."

Since Zhou Yu himself has made up his mind, Li Su can take the opportunity to avoid the information.

Huang Gai wanted to stop Zhou Yu from leaking military information, but Zhou Yu thought further. He thought that Li Su was prepared and had other sources of information to test his sincerity, so he told the truth:

"As the right general expected, it was not far away. The early sales price of Kuanbang Shujin was indeed far beyond expectations. At that time, the army gave 7,000 yuan per piece. When our army shipped, the initial one-tenth of the first one was sold for more than ten thousand yuan because of its scarcity.

It was mainly bought by Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was extremely luxurious. At the first banquet on the New Year, he saw the "seamless heavenly clothes" brocade robe of my envoy, and was envious. He never refused to give up the high price and bought more than a thousand pieces for the whole family. Everyone made seamless brocade robes, and Xuchang City was a luxury for a while.

However, the price fell a little later, and freight costs were deducted. Now the net profit of each horse trafficking is only a thousand yuan. Our army was originally supported enough, but because this year, Danyang, Wujun and Kuaiji were all affected by war. Moreover, it was the battle between spring and summer. Most of the people's land was abandoned and the prices of grain rose. Our army had to seek more wealth and strive to get to Jiangxia, Yuzhang and other grains.

But our army has made a lot of progress on the battlefield.

Although our army still besieged Moling City, Zhou Xin still defended and refused to retreat. In addition, Liu Yao, the pseudo-Yangzhou governor, also responded by Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, to cross the Yangtze River south to Wu County, and stationed in Jie. Xu Gong, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and others were greatly motivated.

However, although Liu Yao arrived, he was just helping the three thieves. Xu Gong, Yan Baihu and Wang Lang did not dare to take the initiative to fight. Because of Liu Yao's arrival, the spirit of the people was greatly boosted, and there were many Shanyue barbarians who surrendered. Under Liu Yao's urging, they thought that our army was exhausted and they dared to attack the main force that besieged Moling.

In May, Bo Fu and I defeated the three thieves' coalition forces in Wucheng, Taihu Lake! Wang Lang retreated to Kuaiji, Xu Gong drowned in Taihu Lake, Yan Baihu escaped and retreated to the mountains. Half a month ago, our army had just taken Wu County, and now north of Zhejiang, it is all in the hands of my envoy. The King of Hanzhong and my envoy joined forces to divide the land of Liu Biao together. Isn't it beautiful?

What's more, the King of Hanzhong, as a leader of the Han family, was unable to attack other foreign clans due to his reputation. He happened to be a false move. Our army killed Liu Yao, who obeyed Li Jie's false order, and would not dirty your hands."

Li Su had been squinting at first and listened to the other party's sincere information, but he couldn't help but interrupt: "Shut up! Wang Renyi of Hanzhong, how could he cooperate with the people who killed the royal family in the foreign town? If you dare to kill Liu Yao, after the King of Hanzhong succeeded in the future, he would free up his hands to avenge the murdered royal family! Not only you, but also Yuan Shugou thief who killed King Chen and Liu Chong!"

Zhou Yu realized that some words could not be said, and even if there was no outsider, he quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, yes, Yu said nothing, Liu Yao was just used by Li Jue and Guo Si. Even if we break it, we can only inspire him to repent again."
